Truth: King James posing as Hush-a-by-baby

Rumors were hushed after the birth of a son

of King James II of England, Scotland and

Ireland. Supposedly born by his wife Mary of

Modena, the baby was believed not to be

of Royal blood. On many tragic occasions

Mary reported to miscarry, on this fact it was

based that the child had been smuggled into

the birthing room. The birth evoked fear in

parliament who strongly opposed Catholic

ruling, causing struggle for the crown referred

to as the treetop.

Rumors were hushed after the birth of a son of King James II of England, Scotland and Ireland. Supposedly born by his wife Mary of Modena, the baby was believed not to be of Royal blood. On many tragic occasions she reported to miscarry, on this fact it was based that the child had been smuggled into the birthing room. The birth evoked fear in parliament who strongly opposed Catholic ruling, causing struggle for the crown referred to as the treetop.

When eventually the English Parliament

caught wind of this child, threatening blows of

fear were felt with the thought of a Catholic

heir. The cradle refers to the Royal House of

Stuart James’s blood line, which will later feel

shaken and rocked after the news that the

Netherlands was bringing James’s nephew and

son-in-law, William III of England, who would be

invited to take the throne by Parliament.

When an invasion army came from the

Netherlands the King fled in the ‘Glorious

Revolution’. The brough refers to the king as

he is the most important branch of the Stuart

family tree, when fleeing he breaks the natural

succession. Mary cradled her baby and fled with

James from England. Which will leave daughter

Mary II to reign with William III both Protestant

religion, heralding the fall of the Catholic ruler.

The imminent downward fall of the House of Stuart

tumbles with the King fleeing, through this act

he abdicates the throne to William III. Destroying

natural succession which would have passed to

his fast growing up baby. Laying in his cradle not

knowing he was the reason his father los his throne,

the story later tells of his father’s attempt to reclaim

the crown. His efforts thwarted at the ‘Battle of the

Boyne’ and the song of Lillibullero was said to have

sung him out of all three Kingdoms.
